I didn't think it was that bad. My hands don't really sweat that much though. The hike was killer, but only the last climb was hard. Cantalope Death and Feed the Beast were pretty well shaded to start the day, then the climbs around POD were shaded after that, the top of monolith was hot though. Wet Kiss was alright, Verdict as the last climb of the day was the only thing that I really sweated a bit on.
I just need to find somewhere with lots of 11s and easy 12s that I can work on that isn't so far away, and doesn't have a bad road on the approach
